Message	1) Wait until the GT-Rs are in the hands of capable drivers with lots of strips to run and attempts at it. Magazine times, which is all we have now, are always slower. We can't compare it yet. 2) Despite the 1/4 mile times, most of the data where it outperforms the Z06 has revolved around track times and overall performance. Everything from the much publicized Nordschleife to the not-so-public proving ground in Stanfield. Most would agree those are far more representative than purely drag times, and this is coming from a drag racing fan. www.SoCalZCrew.com - Come find out how we do it in the West!
